Biggest Blow Hard at the field

Alright who was the biggest blow hard you've ever met at a field. For me it would have to be this guy who said he was in the army, and felt the need to tell everyone he came across just how important his job was in the army. He also liked to talk about all the things he did in Iraq (even though he never left the FOB (forward operations base)) Anyways he was there with his "Custom Project Salvo" (it was all stock) he was also in a T-shirt that was about 3 sizes too small, I painted him up every chance i got...

Met a kid using a bow at a big game, made me laugh when he told me that he could hear my pack rattling over the mountain over the sound of a battle nearby. But the reason I eliminated him before he could get me is because he was waiting on the perfect opportunity. Then after I eliminated him again via barrel tag he continued to brag about his bat-like hearing, and cat-like prowess and stealth to other players.

When I brought up how I barrel tagged him he promptly defended himself saying he was acting bait. Bait for his 2 teammates who got eliminated as soon as I barrel tagged him....

What might be interesting to you is that I took more tactics from paintball and applied it to the military, than tactics from the military and applied it to paintball. The only tactics that would be relevant is if you made it to the special forces [learning how to be constantly relentless]. Special forces are not reigned in and forced to wear uncomfortable clothing or do useless things. Other than that the tactics that you learn in the military are almost bull****. The whole experience just makes you appear to other people a little paranoid. [outside the wire nearly every day]. If you hear someone bragging about being in the service ask: Were you in the Special Forces or Rangers? If they say no, then say, "Then I don't give a ****." The entire service doesn't teach anything about close quarters combat in depth, unless you become professional.

When I was 16, there was this kid/teenager with glasses who kept saying that he was going to dominate us in paintball and that he was on a tourney team. By this time, my bros and I had been playing against each other for almost a year. We thought we could learn something from this guy, because he kept talking [Although one of my younger brothers thought he was full of ****]. My bro was right. He was afraid to come out from behind his bunker, and it ended up in us taking him down close range. He was absolutely useless on our team, and he sat out when we played against these neighborhood kids just because he was shot in the finger. He decided to be in one of our games on our team, and all he did was camp in the back. My bros and I destroyed the neighborhood kids, I took out all of them in one game myself. I saw my hits splat into the back of the neighborhood kids 20-30 feet away so I knew I was the one that eliminated them.

When my bros went back to church, they heard him bragging about our eliminations, saying that he sniped all these guys that I and my bros eliminated. He challenged my bros to go up against his tourney team. He said they were holding an outlaw tournament to raise money for his team. He said his tourney team would dominate and destroy us in the 3 vs 3 tournament in front of everyone that wanted to play paintball. So we go to this 3 vs 3 tournament. I am nervous that we aren't going to do very well, because all these people are saying how badass they are. I was a little apprehensive until one game our team took out another team in 10 seconds.
This Jamaican team had a crazy true frontman. The dude was athletic and extremely fast. This was the only team to beat us, but the tourney team that was running the tournament said the frontman overshot me when he bunkered me putting 3 into my mask [after he bunkered my bro he whipped around and bunkered me while I missed him]. WTF? My bro and I said it was ok, and they won the game fair and square. We had no hard feelings toward another team that knows how to paintball.
When we finally played against the bragging tourney team, we took them all out and I finished off the last guy, bunkering him. We placed in second, the Jamaican team placed in 1st, and their team placed in 4th.

This did not matter, the bragging kid continued to brag about how many tournaments he was in and how awesome he was. He made my bros look bad, so other kids at church thought they could destroy us in paintball. When we invited them to the outlaw field, we put them all on one team. My bro and I were by ourselves. They refused to let us play like this and gave us one of their players. At the start of the game, my bro and I left this player and took them all down in less than a minute. This happened throughout the day until they didn't want us on the same team, and then they just didn't want us to play in any of the games anymore, so we refed.

We have a couple at the local field I go to, one has been going to the field forever and I hated him before I quit the last time a few years ago. He is the kind that if you shoot him it either bounces or needs a paint check. But, if he shoots one ball in your direction, he hit you, you wiped and you cheat. He also acts like he's a ****ing army general when you're on his team. Also, if you shoot him more than once, you overshoot and your gun is shooting hot. But, if you encounter him, you're guaranteed to get shot 5-8 times.

Then, we have a scenario team that the field sponsors for some reason. They're just a bunch of blow hards, biggest cheaters that I"ve run across and have 0 skill but play like they're gods gift to paintball.

Too many. I have the disadvantage of going to a field near an Army post (Fort Carson) and we get a lot of guys who claim to be in the military (40 pounds overweight, long, shaggy hair, and absolutely no idea of military jargon). They make it sound convincing, carry an X7 looking like a G36, and wear tons of tactical gear. Then we get 4th ID soldiers coming out with stock 98Cs, Spyders, and a couple electros and absolutely destroying these guys. Rather funny to watch.
Go Army!

I was based at Carson for five years never paintballed there though I was usually either deployed to Iraq or training to deploy to Iraq I know the type of guy you are talking About though.

I've seen very few blowhards, or i just don't tend to notice. Only one comes to mind, and that was this kid who almost became a regular at my home field. Wore all black & yellow, with a matching Ion (the Ion in no way has any negative connotations here, that's simply the gun he had).

He was particularly & habitually nasty to rentals, or anyone else somewhat newbish. He talked a lot of smack for someone who played strictly recball, which is normally very chill, fun, & welcoming. I had seen him a couple times while i reffed, and it was getting on my nerves telling him to lay off.

Me & my cousin played one day while i wasn't reffing, and he showed up. So all day we double-teamed him. He never came back.

There are two main ones at my field one has to be a guy who sadly is a regular and friends with the owner but whenever he gets shot he disputes it or attacks the player who shot him telling them that him or her was cheating and wipes. Once he bunkered me and another kid while shooting hot after we had both called ourselves out and walked away from the bunker(fort). Another kid (12) uses an invert mini and thinks he is a god for staying back and spraying "death from above" on people 100+ feet away. This same kid decided it would be cool to tell everyone in our school that I suck at paintball because I use a pistol (the game referred to was my first time playing with it and a big game) yet every time I confront him he denies it and says he never said anything like that (I'm bigger than him and older by 2 years). Oh the middle school drama paintball can start...

There was this kid that wanted to play paintball with us. We are about 14 yrs old and said sure meet us there. So he shows up with his brand new ego 11 his mommy bought him and a bunch of other expensive stuff. We asked him if he had any paintball experience before this. Nope!

Later that day we played civil war (no bunkers on speedball field) ya we lit him up like the a Christmas tree.

So because a player (new or not) buys (prehaps he borrowed) a gun you either want and can't afford or you are jealous he has a good gun and so do you so you ruin his paintball experience by overshooting him? Well... you defiantly posted about a blow hard but not sure it was him.

Bs he's a facker or has family that was in the military everything I did over seas was classified and not for the gen pop hell I couldent even tell my wife were I was

Used to play at a **** field in Maine and the owners son thought he ran the place. Cheated every chance he got. The whole team used to. Chemical reaction was the team name and Bennett's all weather pb was the dump I played there twice. What a waste of perfectly good farmland. But if you called him on the cheating he just yell at you while drinking a beer and reeking of pot. Something's just don't belong in the game. He would never admit to getting shot.
